She stated that her doctors told her that she could either have them operate on her, which would mean the end of her figure skating career, or she could undergo physiotherapy, which would be a long process and might not work. Ultimately Spours chose to undergo physiotherapy, saying "If it gave me even a 10 per cent chance of skating again, then I was going to go for it."[10]

Following the event, she said, "I honestly can’t believe that I made the top 10 at my first Europeans! It’s such a big confidence boost, and I feel really, really, really good. It means a lot to show what I’m capable of on a big stage. I’ve achieved higher scores at smaller competitions, but doing it here, at this level, feels amazing. I’m also so excited that I’ve secured an extra spot for the home Europeans in Sheffield. It’s going to be so much fun to share that experience with someone else."[15]

In early March, Spours won the silver medal at the2025 Maria Olszewska Memorial.[14]

She competed at the2025 World Championships inBoston, held in March. She placed twenty-second in the short program and advanced to the free skate for the first time in her career.

Going into the2026 European Championships as the home crowd favourite, Spours shared that her still-healing injury would prevent her from attempting certain jumps. Despite that, Spours managed to qualify for the free skate segment and finished the event in twenty-third place overall.[22][23]

On February 6, Spours placed 10th in the short program in the2026 Winter Olympics Figure Skating Team Event. "I am so happy," she said. "Finally, I can call myself an Olympian, which is a super cool moment for me. It's been such a long and difficult journey. I never believed I'd make it here."[24]
